YARD-Heuristics YARD-Heuristics heuristically determines types of parameters and return values for YARD documentation that doesn’t explicitly document it. This allows you to write documentation that isn’t adorned with “obvious” types, but still get that information into the output. It also lets you nice-looking references to parameters and have them be marked up appropriately in HTML output. § Heuristics The following sections list the various heuristics that YARD-Heuristics apply for determining types of parameters and return values. Note that for all heuristics, a type will only be added if none already exists. § Parameter Named “other” A parameter named “other” has the same type as the receiver. This turns class Point def ==(other) into class Point # @param [Point] other def ==(other) § Parameter Types Derived by Parameter Name Parameters to a method with names in the following table has the type listed on the same row. | Name | Type | |--------+-----------| | index | [Integer] | | object | [Object] | | range | [Range] | | string | [String] | Thus class Point def x_inside?(range) becomes class Point # @param [Range] range def x_inside?(range) § Block Parameters If the last parameter to a method’s name begins with ‘&’ it has the type [Proc]. class Method def initialize(&block) becomes class Method # @param [Block] block def initialize(&block) § Return Types by Method Name For the return type of a method with less than two ‹@return› tags, the method name is lookup up in the following table and has the type listed on the same row. For the “type” “self or type”, if a ‹@param› tag exists with the name “other”, the type of the receiver is used, otherwise “self” is used. For the “type” “type”, the type of the receiver is used. | Name | Type | |-----------------+----------------| | ‹<<› | self or type | | ‹>>› | self or type | | ‹==› | [Boolean] | | ‹===› | [Boolean] | | ‹=~› | [Boolean] | | ‹<=>› | [Integer, nil] | | ‹+› | type | | ‹-› | type | | ‹*› | type | | ‹/› | type | | each | [self] | | each_with_index | [self] | | hash | [Integer] | | inspect | [String] | | length | [Integer] | | size | [Integer] | | to_s | [String] | | to_str | [String] | Thus class Point def <<(other) becomes class Point # @return [Point] def <<(other) but class List def <<(item) becomes class List # @return [self] def <<(item) § Emphasizing Parameter Names When producing HTML output, any words in all uppercase, with a possible “th” suffix, that is also the name of a parameter, an ‹@option›, or a ‹@yieldparam›, will be downcased and emphasized with a class of “parameter”. In the following example, “OTHER” will be turned into ‹<em class="parameter">other</em>›: class Point # @return True if the receiver’s class and {#x} and {#y} `#==` those of # OTHER def ==(other) § Usage Add ‹--plugin yard-heuristics-1.0› to your YARD command line. If you’re using Inventory-Rake-Tasks-YARD¹, add the following to your Rakefile: Inventory::Rake::Tasks::YARD.new do |t| t.options += %w'--plugin yard-heuristics-1.0' end ¹ See http://disu.se/software/inventory-rake-tasks-yard/ § API There’s really not very much to the YARD-Heuristics API. What you can do is add (or modify) the types of parameters and return types of methods by adding (or modifying) entries in the Hash tables ‹YARDHeuristics::ParamTypes› and ‹YARDHeuristics::ReturnTypes› respectively. That’s about it. § Financing Currently, most of my time is spent at my day job and in my rather busy private life.

# Rake::ToolkitProgram Create toolkit programs easily with `Rake` and `OptionParser` syntax. Bash completions and usage help are baked in. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'rake-toolkit_program' ``` And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install rake-toolkit_program ## Quickstart * Shebang it up (in a file named `awesome_tool.rb`) ```ruby #!/usr/bin/env ruby ``` * Require the library ```ruby require 'rake/toolkit_program' ``` * Make your life easier ```ruby Program = Rake::ToolkitProgram ``` * Define your command tasks ```ruby Program.command_tasks do desc "Build it" task 'build' do # Ruby code here end desc "Test it" task 'test' => ['build'] do # Rake syntax ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ for dependencies # Ruby code here end end ``` You can use `Program.args` in your tasks to access the other arguments on the command line. For argument parsing integrated into the help provided by the program, see the use of `Rake::Task(Rake::ToolkitProgram::TaskExt)#parse_args` below. * Wire the mainline ```ruby Program.run(on_error: :exit_program!) if $0 == __FILE__ ``` * In the shell, prepare to run the program (UNIX/Linux systems only) ```console $ chmod +x awesome_tool.rb $ ./awesome_tool.rb --install-completions Completions installed in /home/rtweeks/.bashrc Source /home/rtweeks/.bash-complete/awesome_tool.rb-completions for immediate availability. $ source /home/rtweeks/.bash-complete/awesome_tool.rb-completions ``` * Ask for help ```console $ ./awesome_tool.rb help *** ./awesome_tool.rb Toolkit Program *** . . . ``` ## Usage Let's look at a short sample toolkit program -- put this in `awesome.rb`: ```ruby #!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'rake/toolkit_program' require 'ostruct' ToolkitProgram = Rake::ToolkitProgram ToolkitProgram.title = "My Awesome Toolkit of Awesome" ToolkitProgram.command_tasks do desc <<-END_DESC.dedent Fooing myself I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I'm definitely fooing! END_DESC task :foo do a = ToolkitProgram.args puts "I'm fooed#{' on a ' if a.implement}#{a.implement}" end.parse_args(into: OpenStruct.new) do |parser, args| parser.no_positional_args! parser.on('-i', '--implement IMPLEMENT', 'An implement on which to be fooed') do |val| args.implement = val end end end if __FILE__ == $0 ToolkitProgram.run(on_error: :exit_program!) end ``` Make sure to `chmod +x awesome.rb`! What does this support? $ ./awesome.rb foo I'm fooed $ ./awesome.rb --help *** My Awesome Toolkit of Awesome *** Usage: ./awesome.rb COMMAND [OPTION ...] Avaliable options vary depending on the command given. For details of a particular command, use: ./awesome.rb help COMMAND Commands: foo Fooing myself help Show a list of commands or details of one command Use help COMMAND to get more help on a specific command. $ ./awesome.rb help foo *** My Awesome Toolkit of Awesome *** Usage: ./awesome.rb foo [OPTION ...] Fooing myself I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I'm definitely fooing! Options: -i, --implement IMPLEMENT An implement on which to be fooed $ ./awesome.rb --install-completions Completions installed in /home/rtweeks/.bashrc Source /home/rtweeks/.bash-complete/awesome.rb-completions for immediate availability. $ source /home/rtweeks/.bash-complete/awesome.rb-completions $ ./awesome.rb <tab><tab> foo help $ ./awesome.rb f<tab> ↳ ./awesome.rb foo $ ./awesome.rb foo <tab> ↳ ./awesome.rb foo -- $ ./awesome.rb foo --<tab><tab> --help --implement $ ./awesome.rb foo --i<tab> ↳ ./awesome.rb foo --implement $ ./awesome.rb foo --implement <tab><tab> --help awesome.rb $ ./awesome.rb foo --implement spoon I'm fooed on a spoon ### Defining Toolkit Commands Just define tasks in the block of `Rake::ToolkitProgram.command_tasks` with `task` (i.e. `Rake::DSL#task`). If `desc` is used to provide a description, the task will become visible in help and completions. When a command task is initially defined, positional arguments to the command are available as an `Array` through `Rake::ToolkitProgram.args`. ### Option Parsing This gem extends `Rake::Task` with a `#parse_args` method that creates a `Rake::ToolkitProgram::CommandOptionParser` (derived from the standard library's `OptionParser`) and an argument accumulator and `yield`s them to its block. * The arguments accumulated through the `Rake::ToolkitProgram::CommandOptionParser` are available to the task in `Rake::ToolkitProgram.args`, replacing the normal `Array` of positional arguments. * Use the `into:` keyword of `#parse_args` to provide a custom argument accumulator object for the associated command. The default argument accumulator constructor can be defined with `Rake::ToolkitProgram.default_parsed_args`. Without either of these, the default accumulator is a `Hash`. * Options defined using `OptionParser#on` (or any of the variants) will print in the help for the associated command. ### Positional Arguments Accessing positional arguments given after the command name depends on whether or not `Rake::Task(Rake::ToolkitProgram::TaskExt)#parse_args` has been called on the command task. If this method is not called, positional arguments will be an `Array` accessible through `Rake::ToolkitProgram.args`. When `Rake::Task(Rake::ToolkitProgram::TaskExt)#parse_args` is used: * `Rake::ToolkitProgram::CommandOptionParser#capture_positionals` can be used to define how positional arguments are accumulated. * If the argument accumulator is a `Hash`, the default (without calling this method) is to assign the `Array` of positional arguments to the `nil` key of the `Hash`. * For other types of accumulators, the positional arguments are only accessible if `Rake::ToolkitProgram::CommandOptionParser#capture_positionals` is used to define how they are captured. * If a block is given to this method, the block of the method will receive the `Array` of positional arguments. If it is passed an argument value, that value is used as the key under which to store the positional arguments if the argument accumulator is a `Hash`. * `Rake::ToolkitProgram::CommandOptionParser#expect_positional_cardinality` can be used to set a rule for the count of positional arguments. This will affect the _usage_ presented in the help for the associated command. * `Rake::ToolkitProgram::CommandOptionParser#map_positional_args` may be used to transform (or otherwise process) positional arguments one at a time and in the context of options and/or arguments appearing earlier on the command line. ### Convenience Methods * `Rake::Task(Rake::ToolkitProgram::TaskExt)#prohibit_args` is a quick way, for commands that accept no options or positional arguments, to declare this so the help and bash completions reflect this. It is equivalent to using `#parse_args` and telling the parser `parser.expect_positional_cardinality(0)`. * `Rake::ToolkitProgram::CommandOptionParser#no_positional_args!` is a shortcut for calling `#expect_positional_cardinality(0)` on the same object. * `Rake::Task(Rake::ToolkitProgram::TaskExt)#invalid_args!` and `Rake::ToolkitProgram::CommandOptionParser#invalid_args!` are convenient ways to raise `Rake::ToolkitProgram::InvalidCommandLine` with a message. ## OptionParser in Rubies Before and After v2.4 The `OptionParser` class was extended in Ruby 2.4 to simplify capturing options into a `Hash` or other container implementing `#[]=` in a similar way. This gem supports that, but it means that behavior varies somewhat between the pre-2.4 era and the 2.4+ era. To have consistent behavior across that version change, the recommendation is to use a `Struct`, `OpenStruct`, or custom class to hold program options rather than `Hash`. ## Development After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment. To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org). To run the tests, use `rake`, `rake test`, or `rspec spec`. Tests can only be run on systems that support `Kernel#fork`, as this is used to present a pristine and isolated environment for setting up the tool. If run using Ruby 2.3 or earlier, some tests will be pending because functionality expects Ruby 2.4's `OptionParser`. ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/PayTrace/rake-toolkit_program.
